a. d1 = 200/sin43 = 293 Ft.
b. d2 = 200/tan43.
c. d3 = d2/Cos16.
d. h = 200 + d2*Tan16
From the top of a 200 foot building, a bird is sighted overhead and a man is observed directly below the bird at ground level. The angle of elevation of the bird is 16*, and the angle of depression of the man is 43* find :
a) the distance from the top of the building to the man (line of sight)
b) the distance from the top of the building to the bird/man's location (horizontal distance)
c) the distance from the top of the building to the bird (line of sight)
d) the height of the bird flying
